Are we sure you can't attach filters to the Sigma 8-16mm?
I only have the 10-20mm but SRS are indicating that the 8-16mm can take 72mm filters and offer a bundle with a Kenko UV filter here.

I think that's just some automatic link sale ad. A filter for the 8-16 is pretty much is pointlessAre we sure you can't attach filters to the Sigma 8-16mm?

I own both and for a couple of years.
The 8-16 is heavier, and another inch longer due to the permanent hood
I would say the 8-16 is slightly better optically, but stopped due to F16 my 10-20 is superb.
8-16 gives you more creativity with composition, but it's limited as you can't use filters, (unless you wan to mess around with gel filters).
8-16 is as wide as you can get but conversely 20mm is a great general focal length and eliminates a lot of lens changing.
It's a bit of luxury owning both but I believe I need the 8-16 for the bits of work I do. That being said I could sell it if I had too.
After 2 years the 8-16 stays in the house most of the time mainly 'cause of weight and lack of filters. You would be struggling to find anyone with a bad thing to say about the 10-20 on the internet.
Lighter and cheaper I would recommend it for the long run.

Has Pentax released a full frame?

Just been reading the 'hands on' Ephotozine review of the new Sony A58 & it's new 20.1 MP sensor.
Given the old 24.3 MP sensor has taken a bit of 'tanking' compared with the 16MP sensor as featured in the K5, I think we can speculate that the K5's replacement will have this new 20.1 MP sensor?

Any chance of locking all & future 'Pentax Full Frame!?!' threads so there's just one of those?

Looks good! As was mentioned it would be a lot more majestic with some foreground, but heyho.

OK, I can't replicate with this lo-res file, but I think there is enough sky on the horizontal planes to allow you to clone.
Just pick a piece of empty sky and clone across exactly horizontally, it will certainly take a little while, play about with brush sizes, remember to use a soft brush & CTRL-Z to quick delete any mistakes will be handy
Apart from that, yeah you might just wanna let this one go...

Sorry, is Elements actually building the panorama properly or is the missing sky a problem?
If not, as Smeggy suggests cloning from elsewhere should be able to fill it it

I feel I'm detecting a difference, where as with the others I thought the mki actually looked better lol.
I still can't say it would make me want to upgrade though, particularly while the price is still so close to the release price. Out of curiosity, David I believe you have be a champion of the 'value' the Pentax system brings - could I ask why you 'auntie'd up' and upgraded so quickly?
